Colour Critical Workspace

Camera reference targets, device calibration and professional displays are some of the tools we use in a colour critical pipeline to maintain both the technical and artistic intentions of the imaging professional. What is often overlooked is the viewing environment where colour critical decisions are made. Creating a neutral retouching/grading room free from colour clutter is essential. A good workspace will have consistent, unchanging lighting conditions with appropriate colour temperature (D65).

Input Profiling

Camera reference targets, device calibration and professional displays are some of the tools we use in a colour-critical pipeline to maintain both the technical and artistic intentions of the imaging professional. Scan Pro Video supply a range of indispensable tools for photographers and filmmakers with industry standard test charts including colour checker, greyscale and grey / white balance charts. For use in the field, on-set and post production, when images are your reputation, you can't afford to be a colour chancer.

Monitor Calibration

Camera reference targets, device calibration and professional displays are some of the tools we use in a colour-critical pipeline to maintain both the technical and artistic intentions of the imaging professional. The human eye is a remarkable organ, adapting to brightness and white balance colour shifts almost instantly. Unfortunately this ability can mask colour casts on displays. Relying on hardware calibration to known industry standards is the only way to maintain accurate colour rendering across digital devices. A properly calibrated monitor is an easy first step to achieving managed colour workflow. The effect of colour is both profound and subtle; viewing your shots in the correct colour space (source and target gamut) allows you to make decisions with confidence, and ensure your story gets told the way you intended.
